Brand: Mylaps Sports Timing

The AMB/MyLaps TranX260 Transponder is required by more and more racing clubs -- and with good reason! AMB transponders have proven their durability and accuracy in all kinds of racing from SCCA to IMSA and IndyCars. A unique* identification number encoded in each transponder is automatically transmitted to a receiving loop embedded in the track at the start/finish line. The red TranX260 is used by SCCA, PCA, NASA, and others.

The direct-power transponder connects to your vehicle's electrical system (6-18 volts) and draws less than 12 mA at 12 VDC. There are no additional subscription fees or lease payments required. 3 year factory warranty.

Transponder Tips:

Transponders must be mounted upright, no higher than 2 feet from the track surface.

The line of sight to the track must be unobstructed by metal or carbon fiber panels or tubes. Fiberglass and other composites do not completely block the signal, but they will weaken it substantially. A weak signal can be missed by the receiving loop, especially when travelling at high speeds.

The transponder number is printed directly on the unit. Write your transponder number in your vehicle logbook and it will always be handy!

Installation of the direct-power transponder is easy. Just connect the red wire to power (10 to 30 volts DC) and the black wire to ground.

Controlling the transponder power by the vehicle ignition switch makes it impossible to forget to turn the transponder on or off. If the vehicle is running, you know the transponder is on!

* How "unique"? MyLaps encodes each transponder with either a 7 digit number or a 9 digit number. Seven digits allows ten million different numbers. Nine digits allows a further one billion (billion, with a "b") different numbers. You will NEVER find another MyLaps transponder with your number on it!

I use a transponder in my Formula Vee race car and borrowed one last year when the battery finally went after many years on my rechargeable transponder. No problems at all. It took me maybe 20 minutes to hook up this one so that it is in line down from my ignition switch, so that is always on if the engine is on, then to route the cable to the battery out of my way. Due, I think to the length of the cable, it takes perhaps two seconds after I flip the ignition switch for the "on" light in the transponder to come on, which is fine.I know these units are very durable and I hope to use it for years to come.

The AMB/MyLaps Tran X 260 Direct Powered Transponder is a proven product. I order it from Pegasus because their order response time is the best! Even if I order it at 3pm it is out the door and on it's way to me the same day. I refer all of my teams to Pegasus for the same reason. Thank you for dedication to excellent service.
